Science?
This thread is in the Science Forum.
Why are there so many references to ancient tribal myths?

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Did you read the "let there be light" in the OP? It appears that this thread is partly about an attempt to refute the Genesis record. Shouldn't there be opportunity for creationists to debate their positions?
No. There is enough ignorance in the world already. We don't need any more. ;-)

Mythology...
There is no scientific evidence for the Genesis myth, nor for the myth of a young earth.
Those stories are ancient tribal myths. One might as believe in the myth of a flat earth.

There has been, however, cited evidence of the credibility of the Biblical record, which does not literally depict a young earth.
There is no credible evidence for a young earth. None.
There is a massive amount of evidence for an old earth.
The Genesis account is tribal myth, subject to multiple interpretations depending on belief. It is not hypothesis or theory, both of which are subject to, or the result of, testing against empirical evidence.
All hypotheses and theories have their problematic improbabilities.
Not sure what this means. If you are saying that scientific theories are tentative, well, we all know that.
If you are saying that scientific theories are just random guesswork unsupported by factual evidence and successful predictions, you are incorrect. In spite of what a lot of creationists may tell you, "theory" does not mean "guesswork."

Re: you're going to have to "Stuudy Genesis" even more than that.
It is my personal theory that 'round things' were created on day four.
Like this?

Re: I study Genesis and the rest of the Torah non-stop.
The fact is, that there are no facts in science.
Viewpoints now declared holy by science, may be in on the garbage heap tomorrow when new evidence has come to light that refutes that what was yesterday an indisputable scientific fact.

You are confusing facts and either hypotheses or theories.
Better study some science before you pontificate on it.
